The most anticipated quarterfinal match of the Australian Open 2025 in the men’s singles division between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz is all set to take place at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, on Tuesday, January 21. While Djokovic will aim to win the quarterfinal match against the Spaniard and keep his dream of winning a record-extending 25th grand slam title alive, Alcaraz will try to knock one of the greatest players in the sport of tennis out of the competition and take one step closer to winning his fifth men’s singles grand slam title in Australia. While Alcaraz holds an edge over Djokovic in their head-to-head records at grand slam events by 2-1 (both wins in grand slam finals), what do their overall records at grand slam events look like? Take a look.
Novak Djokovic: The legendary numbers
Novak Djokovic enters the Australian Open quarterfinal as the most decorated grand slam champion in men’s tennis history. With 24 grand slam titles, including a record 10 Australian Open titles, Djokovic has consistently proven his dominance on the biggest stages. The Serbian star’s longevity and adaptability have allowed him to excel across all surfaces, amassing a remarkable 352 grand slam match wins to date.
Djokovic’s record in finals is equally impressive, with a winning percentage of nearly 78 per cent in championship matches. At 37, his ability to compete at the highest level remains unparalleled, making him a formidable opponent for any challenger, including Alcaraz.
At just 21 years old, Carlos Alcaraz has established himself as one of tennis’s brightest stars, amassing an impressive four grand slam titles without a single defeat in finals. His breakthrough came with a triumph at the 2022 US Open, where he overcame Casper Ruud. This was followed by a memorable victory at the 2023 Wimbledon Championship, where he defeated Novak Djokovic in a gripping five-set match. He then added the 2024 French Open title to his tally and successfully defended his Wimbledon crown that same year, once again against Djokovic.
These accomplishments catapulted Alcaraz to the ATP’s world No 1 ranking on September 12, 2022. His career record boasts 209 wins against 56 losses, reflecting a stellar winning percentage of nearly 79 per cent. Alcaraz’s versatility has been on full display, with grand slam triumphs across all major surfaces—hard, grass, and clay—underscoring his adaptability and skill.
